In some parts of the country, the college football season gets underway the last weekend in August.
Locally, for San Jose State University football assistant coach Alonzo Carter his weekend will be away from the playing field.
The dialogue he established in May 2020 in response to assist minority coaches with upward mobility in the coaching profession, the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on sports and society will be examined and highlighted on KTVU's (Channel 2, Oakland) Voices For Change.
Coach Carter, an Oakland, Calif., native and now in his fourth year at San José State, will be one of the guests on the Bay Area Fox affiliate 30-minute weekly community interest show. Air time on Sunday, August 30, is 9:30 a.m. (PT) with host Greg Lee of the KTVU news department.
"Each week, we hope to continue the conversation and amplify the message of those calling for reform, social justice and racial equality" is Lee's opening tag line for the viewing audience.
Carter's platform to follow the San Francisco Bay Area's FOX affiliate's program theme has been through the "West Coast ZOOM Clinics" he has hosted since mid-May following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minn. Weekly, hundreds of coaches from high school, community college, college and professional football come together to listen, learn and network. His ZOOM clinics now have more than 7,000 participants with some calls attracting more than 600 a night for compelling conversation of more than six hours.
